Thompson would not have to sit out next season under NCAA transfer rules if the A&M basket ball team is put on probation for NCAA violations. But he said he has chosen to sit out next year regardless of the NCAA's decision. Thompson said the year off will help him get ahead academically while learning the OSU program and improving himself physically. Thompson also said he will be able to step in after three OSU guards graduate next year. "That's going to be a great op portunity," he said. "They are expecting big things from me." Thompson said the hiring of new A&M coach Tony Barone had no effect on his decision. "We had a meeting and he pretty much respected my deci sion," he said. "I was thinldng of leaving before A&M hired him." Thompson said he plans to keep an eye on the progress of the A&M basketball team in the next few years. "Coach Barone is really going to get it done, I think he's a great coach and a winner," he said. Thompson, who endured two turbulent seasons of coaching changes and controversy, said he's not looking forward to leav ing his friends and his brother behind at A&M. "It's going to be really tough," he said. "Its going to be hard on me to leave — I love it here." Arkansas hoopsters handed drastically lighter penalties LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) —The yearlong team suspensions given to four University of Arkansas players involved in a sexual incident on campus were drastically reduced Wednesday by the sys tem president. Second-team All-American Todd Day and three teammates won't be able to play until December, meaning they'll miss a tournament in Hawaii and perhaps some non-conference games, B. Alan Sugg said. Coach Nolan Richardson broke his silence on the matter Wednesday and said he had been pre pared to offer his resignation to the school chan cellor over the incident. He said Dan Ferritor told him running away wouldn't solve the problem. Richardson also said the publicity over the inci dent has hurt recruiting efforts. Attorneys for the players said they were pleased with the ruling by Sugg. The players are sorry for their actions, Sugg and Day's attorney said. Sugg said school officials “up and down the line," including Ferritor, Richardson and athletic director Frank Broyles, made a mistake by drag ging their feet on the incident. Broyles was urged oy Ferritor in February to make sure strong and quick action was taken against the players. Broyles and Richardson rejected the advice. Day and teammates Darrell Hawkins, Elmer Martin and Roosevelt Wallace were — at the mini mum — suspended from the basketball team fora year by the All University Judicial Board, highly placed university sources said. They couldn't play or practice under the ruling appealed to Sugg. Hawkins would have been suspended from school under the judicial board ruling, sources said Wednesday. A 34-year-old Springdale woman told police she was sexually assaulted at the UA athletic dor mitory Feb. 27, and identified the four players The woman, who police said was drunk, did nol press charges and Prosecutor Andrew Ziser said evidence wasn't sufficient to file charges. The players conceded they had sex with the woman, out said she consented. Sugg said his review of the hearing before the idicial judicial board convinced him that the woman con sented. He declined to comment on the boards decision, but indicated that the issue of consent was the main point of difference between and the board. “I do believe that Todd, Roosevelt, Darrell and Elmer broke a university student conduct regula tion by participating in a degrading act by engag ing in serial consentual sexual intercourse.' O'Brien: today's stars whine too much, care too little Continued from page 7 wall into the cheap seats. The next time Horn came up to the plate, Ryan was still on the mound. In their second confrontation of the day, the pitch was the same, a fastball down the middle, but this time Horn struck out. Unfazed by Horn's first at bat, Ryan did what he does best and did it aggressively. The 44-year- old pitching wonder could have thrown a bunch of curves and a changeup and pitched around Horn, but that's not Ryan. Athletes like Ryan and Watson seem few and far between these days. Oakland A's leftfielder Ricky Henderson may be one of the greatest players in Major League history. He also may be one of the biggest babies to ever play. In the middle of a contract that pays him less than some players of questionable talent, Henderson is crying foul. He wants the A's management to renegotiate his contract because baseball is a business. Henderson said. He should be paid more than players with less talent, he said. Henderson, the second- leading base stealer off all-time, is right—baseball is a business. And that's a good reason for Henderson to stop complaining and honor his contract. Boston Red Sox pitcher Roger Clemens is another great player of today who should look around and take a few lessons from the old guard. Clemens was thrown-out of last year's American League Championship Series after verbally assaulting the home plate umpire. He was suspended tor five games at the beginning of this season but has appealed the decision, allowing him to play until the comissioner's ruling is made. Clemens, in a public relations move, has decided to start signing autographs this year for the first time in his career. Gee, thanks Roger. Athletes like Henderson and Clemens should just go out and play their best. Everything else will take care of itself. Mavs avoid season sweep from Wolves DALLAS (AP) — Derek Harper's 20-footer with 24 seconds to play gave Dallas the lead, and he clinched the 102-100 victory over Minne sota with two free throws Wednesday night, snapping the Mavericks' eight-game losing streak. After Harper gave the Mav ericks a 100-98 lead, Tyrone Corbin missed a 12-footer for the Timberwolves with 12 sec onds left. Harper was fouled after Dallas got the rebound, and his two free throws with 10 seconds remaining gave the Mavericks a four-point margin. Tony Campbell's uncon tested basket with five sec onds left pulled Minnesota within two, but the Timber- wolves failed in their bid for a 5-0 season sweep of the Mav ericks.
